Conservative Central Labor Unfeu hhsn
Tired Of the Radical Programme.


At the meeting Of the Central Labor Union
yesterday in Clarendon Hall Edward King
member Of tho committee that went to ask
Gov. Oglesby for Executive clemency for tho
condemned Anarchists, reported that his COM
mittee had secured the Communication OF the
two condemned men, Michael Schwab and Sam
uol Fielden. It was the best that they could do
under the circumstances, with n hostile press
bowling for the blood OF tho victims. He asked
that tho committee BIO empowered to get up an
entertainment for tho benefit OF the families OF
the Anarchists.
This woke up the meeting Delegate Hugh
Whoriskey, OF tho American Order OF United
Carpenters, asked how 1t came about that
committee had been sent out to Springfield to
ask for the lives Of the condemned Anarchists.
He was sure that 1t was never ordered at n
meeting Of tho Central Labor Union. He was
informed that the committee was created by a
committee that had been instructed to get up
meetings. He did not see what the Central La

He wanted the committee discharged, and he
fought like n Major to have it done. But tho
meeting decided for the entertainment by a vote
